Code of Conduct

​

1. I will follow the expectations of the Perry Jr Jay Wrestling by:

   • Learning the rules of wrestling and teaching my child the importance of playing fair and following those rules

   • Staying out of the wrestling room and off tournament mats; letting the coach’s coach, unless I am one of the official coaches or official parent helpers (coach in training) of the Perry Jr Jay Wrestling Club.

   • Informing coaches prior to practice if my child cannot attend or will need to leave practice early
      

2. I will remember that participation in wrestling is supposed to be fun, for the youth and is not to be forced by me as the parent. Hostility and violence will not be encouraged and I will teach my child to wrestle by the rules and resolve conflict appropriately.
    

3. I will not encourage any behaviors or practices that would endanger the heath and/or well-being of the athletes and I will keep coaches informed about any physical disability or ailment that may affect the safety of my child or the safety of others
    

4. I (and my guests) will:

   • Be a positive role model for my child and all Perry Jr Jay wrestlers

   • Encourage sportsmanship by showing respect and courtesy for all wrestlers, coaches, officials and spectators

   • NOT use profane language or gestures, boo or taunt others, use verbal or physical threats or refuse to shake the hands of others

   • Treat other wrestlers, coaches, officials, parents and spectators with respect regardless of race, creed, color, sex or ability

   • Respect coaches and officials, as well as their authority, during wrestling matches; never questioning, discussing or confronting coaches during or after a match (concerns should be addressed later at an agreed time and place)

   • Demand a sporting environment that is free from drugs, tobacco and alcohol and will refrain from their use
      

5. I will teach my child that doing one’s best is more important than winning by:

   • Praising my child for competing fairly, trying hard and acting like a winner despite match outcomes

   • Never ridiculing or yelling at my child or other participants for making mistakes or losing a competition

   • Emphasizing the benefit of skill development and practicing over winning (especially in the novice age group)

   • Respecting the team’s right to a healthy practice environment and not removing my child from practice due to his/her performance
